A federal appeals court found the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) unlawful. However, they are allowing current enrollees to renew their status as the matter is sent to a lower court to review a new Biden administration regulation. The panel of three judges from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s ruling against the program. However, the introduction of the Biden regulation in August 2022 is sending the case to a lower court for consideration. The Biden regulation is meant to protect the program from legal challenges and will go into effect on October 31, 2022.
